Weekly Reminders:

Wednesday:

Congress is now in session... but we'll need to recess until tomorrow: The first day of school is a fast paced one, and for this final period of the day, we have about enough time to say "hello, welcome back and goodbye". We'll get moving soon enough, but we're going to ease into things this week. For today, a few Power Point slides, and some simple conversation. More details Thursday, but let's take half an hour to say "hi".

Thursday:

How will this class work this year?: Now that we have a real class, we can start to answer that question. Today, we will review the ins and outs of our class website, HandsOnMilwee.com (the one you're reading right this second) but first, let's talk about opening and closing procedures.

Opening Activity: We are going to be working together for the next ten months, so we should probably get to know one another. For your first assignment, you'll need to pair up with someone that is not in your grade.

Once you've found your partner, click on the button below and conduct the Getting to Know You interview. I will be printing these answers out, to keep for my reference throughout the year, so please try to be thorough. Once all interviews have been conducted, we will play an alliteration name game, before going on a tour of our class website.
